The Media Browser is a floating palette-like window in PowerPoint 2011 for Mac that contains several tabs for all types of media — some of these tabs such as Photos and Audio have already been covered in separate tutorials — in this third part of the Media Browser series, we explore the Movies tab. The Movies tab of the Media Browser provides quick access to movie clips (videos) that are already in your iMovie or Mac OS X Movies folders — in addition, it also shows any videos you create or store in your PhotoBooth and iTunes applications.

Rich, vibrant color attracts more attention in a picture than olde-world black and white. However, the contrast visible in a black and white photo is far superior — artists and photography purists have long hailed the black and white picture as a creative medium. You may want to extend this creative medium to your Photo Album presentations — fortunately, a click or two is all that is required to create an inspirational black and white Photo Album.

We have already explored the new Media Browser in PowerPoint 2011 for Mac, and its Photos tab. The second tab within the Media Browser is the Audio tab — this tab allows you to quickly add sounds to your PowerPoint slides. Since PowerPoint 2011 is so well integrated with Mac OS X, the Audio tab displays your iTunes and GarageBand music collections. Similar to the Photos tab, the Audio tab is also divided into upper and lower panes.

In previous tutorials about the Photo Album option in PowerPoint 2010, you have learned how to create a new Photo Album and how you can edit existing Photo Albums by reordering pictures and changing the slide’s picture layout. One of PowerPoint’s most powerful features is to use captions for the pictures you add in a Photo Album presentation — by default it uses the file name for your captions — so if the original file name was “Winter Morning.jpg”, the caption you see on your slide will be “Winter Morning” — that is so perfect! Unfortunately not many people provide such nice names to their pictures — most pictures are just subsequent numbers from a digital camera these days — so a name like IMG06712.jpg is more common! You really don’t want a caption like IMG06712 — fortunately, PowerPoint lets you change captions too!
